Manual Transmission - Chevrolet cruze 2017 Owner's Manual

Second Gear Start Feature
When accelerating the vehicle from
a stop in snowy and icy conditions,
you may want to shift into
2 (Second) gear. A higher gear
allows you to gain more traction on
slippery surfaces.
With the DSC feature, the vehicle
can be set to pull away in
2 (Second) gear.
1. Move the shift lever from
D (Drive) to L (Low).
2. With the vehicle stopped, press
the + (plus) end of the button to
select 2 (Second) gear. The
vehicle will start from a stop
position in 2 (Second) gear.
3. Once moving, select the
desired drive gear.
